[uf-rest] "typed" microformats proposal

[Dr. Ernie Prabhakar]

Excellent comments -- I agree with most of them.  For those who don't  
know, the easiest way to see them is via history:

http://microformats.org/wiki?title=rest%2Fdatatypes&diff=0&oldid=4945

I'll wait to see if anyone else has a different perspective before  
integrating Kevin's comments.

The one area I'm most unsure about is "int" -- is there any harm in  
just calling this "any integer" rather than restricting it to  
"int32"?  How would the failure/parsing modes differ?
